Description

In-cell type liquid crystal panel and liquid crystal display device

The present invention relates to an in-cell type liquid crystal cell in which a touch sensing function is incorporated in the liquid crystal cell and an in-cell type liquid crystal panel having a polarizing film with an adhesive layer on the viewing side of the in-cell type liquid crystal cell. Further, the present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device using the liquid crystal panel. The liquid crystal display device with a touch sensing function using the in-cell type liquid crystal panel of the present invention can be used as various input display devices such as mobile devices.

In general, a liquid crystal display device has a polarizing film bonded to both sides of a liquid crystal cell via an adhesive layer due to its image forming method. In addition, a liquid crystal display device in which a touch panel is mounted on a display screen has been put into practical use. There are various types of touch panels such as a capacitance type, a resistance film type, an optical method, an ultrasonic method, and an electromagnetic induction type, but the capacitance type is increasingly adopted. In recent years, a liquid crystal display device with a touch sensing function that incorporates a capacitance sensor as a touch sensor unit has been used.

On the other hand, at the time of manufacturing the liquid crystal display device, when the polarizing film with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is attached to the liquid crystal cell, the release film is peeled off from the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the polarizing film with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. Static electricity is generated by peeling. Static electricity is also generated when the surface protective film of the polarizing film attached to the liquid crystal cell is peeled off or when the surface protective film of the cover window is peeled off. The static electricity generated in this way affects the alignment of the liquid crystal layer inside the liquid crystal display device, leading to defects. Generation of static electricity can be suppressed, for example, by forming an antistatic layer on the outer surface of the polarizing film.

On the other hand, the capacitance sensor in the liquid crystal display device with a touch sensing function detects a weak capacitance formed by the transparent electrode pattern and the finger when the finger of the user approaches the surface. When a conductive layer such as an antistatic layer is provided between the transparent electrode pattern and the user's finger, the electric field between the drive electrode and the sensor electrode is disturbed, the sensor electrode capacitance becomes unstable, and the touch panel sensitivity Lowers, causing malfunction. In the liquid crystal display device with a touch sensing function, it is required to suppress the generation of static electricity and to suppress malfunction of the capacitance sensor. For example, in order to reduce the occurrence of display failure and malfunction in a liquid crystal display device with a touch sensing function, the surface resistance value is 1.0 × 10 ⁹ to 1.0 × 10 ¹¹ Ω / □. It has been proposed to dispose a polarizing film having an antistatic layer on the viewing side of the liquid crystal layer (Patent Document 1).

JP 2013-105154 A

According to the polarizing film having the antistatic layer described in Patent Document 1, it is possible to suppress the generation of static electricity to some extent. However, in Patent Document 1, since the place where the antistatic layer is disposed is farther from the fundamental position where static electricity is generated, it is not as effective as when an antistatic function is imparted to the adhesive layer. Also, in a liquid crystal display device with a touch sensing function using an in-cell type liquid crystal cell, it is possible to provide conductivity from the side surface by providing a conductive structure on the side surface of the polarizing film, but when the antistatic layer is thin Since the contact area with the conductive structure on the side surface is small, it has been found that sufficient conductivity cannot be obtained and poor conduction occurs. On the other hand, it was found that when the antistatic layer becomes thicker, the touch sensor sensitivity decreases.

On the other hand, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer provided with an antistatic function is more effective in suppressing static electricity generation and preventing static electricity unevenness than the antistatic layer provided on the polarizing film. However, the importance of the antistatic function of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer has been emphasized, and it has been found that the touch sensor sensitivity decreases when the conductive function of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is increased. In particular, it has been found that the touch sensor sensitivity decreases in a liquid crystal display device with a touch sensing function using an in-cell type liquid crystal cell. In addition, the antistatic agent blended in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in order to enhance the conductive function is segregated at the interface with the polarizing film in the humidified environment (after the humidification reliability test) or at the interface on the viewing side of the liquid crystal cell. It turned out that durability was not enough.

The present invention is an in-cell type liquid crystal panel having an in-cell type liquid crystal cell and a polarizing film with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer applied to the viewing side thereof, having a good antistatic function, and touch sensor sensitivity in a humidified environment. It is an object of the present invention to provide an in-cell type liquid crystal panel that can satisfy the above durability.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a liquid crystal display device using the in-cell type liquid crystal panel.

An electrode in which electrodes are integrally formed can be used.

The in-cell type liquid crystal panel may have a second polarizing film disposed on the second transparent substrate side of the in-cell type liquid crystal cell via a second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.

The present invention also relates to a liquid crystal display device having the in-cell type liquid crystal panel.

The polarizing film with an adhesive layer on the viewing side in the in-cell type liquid crystal panel of the present invention contains a conductive polymer in the anchor layer and an antistatic agent in the adhesive layer and has an antistatic function. In the in-cell type liquid crystal panel, when a conductive structure is provided on each side surface of the anchor layer and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the conductive structure can be contacted and a sufficient contact area can be secured. Therefore, conduction on the side surfaces of the anchor layer and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is ensured, and the occurrence of uneven static electricity due to poor conduction can be suppressed.

And a predetermined antistatic function can be imparted.
